Problem with Service Brakes

Jul 07, 2019 - Merrillville, IN - Service Brakes
HAD FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 15N05 DONE ON MY TRUCK JANUARY 2017 AFTER VACUUM PUMP NOISES IN THE FRONT END. VEHICLE WAS AT 90.5K MILES THEN AND IS NOW AT 120.5K MILES. NOTICED A FEW WEEKS AGO THE VACUUM PUMP WAS AGAIN MAKING THE SAME VIBRATION NOISES AT STARTUP...PROBABLY EVEN WORSE (NOISIER, SEVERAL CYCLES OF VIBRATION INSTEAD OF JUST ONE). SINCE I WAS PAST THEIR 1-YEAR/12K MILE WARRANTY PROGRAM ON THE UNIT, FORD DEALER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE BOTH DECLINED TO SUPPORT ANOTHER REPLACEMENT IN ANY WAY. WAS READING ON F150 FORUMS AND OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAULTY VACUUM PUMPS AFTER HAVING THE WARRANTY WORK DONE. SO, NOW I HAVE A NOISY VACUUM PUMP AND VERY SLIGHT PEDAL CHANGES AT FIRST START-UP THAT I MUST PAY TO FIX. NO INCIDENTS SO FAR BUT NOW I'M ON THE HOOK FOR AN ADDITIONAL REPAIR AFTER ONLY 18MONTHS/30K MILES WITH THE FORD RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT PUMP. NOTHING ON VEHICLES THESE DAYS ONLY HAS A 30K MILE LIFE. THAT'S TERRIBLE. FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, I'M GOING TO HANDLE THIS REPLACEMENT ON MY OWN AND HAVE NO RECOURSE AT THIS MOMENT FOR SATISFACTION BESIDES TO ATLEAST REPORT THAT FORD REPLACED AN EASILY FAILING VACUUM PUMP WITH ANOTHER EASILY FAILING VACUUM PUMP AND THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THAT WORK. IF THIS SAFETY ISSUE WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO CREATE A SATISFACTION PROGRAM/EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM THE FIRST TIME AROUND, WHY IS SAFETY NO LONGER IMPORTANT THE SECOND TIME AROUND WHEN IT IS FAILING AGAIN? ANSWER - BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATING THEM THIS TIME AROUND....MAYBE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE AND IT WILL RE-OPEN THE CASE.

I OWN A 2011 FORD F150 THAT WAS UNDER A TRANSMISSION RECALL THAT WAS VERY SERIOUS IN NATURE: 16V248000 -FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FORD) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2011-2012 FORD F-150 TRUCKS, 2012 FORD EXPEDITION, LINCOLN NAVIGATOR, AND FORD MUSTANG VEHICLES. THE AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT MAY UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR, REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE SPEED. I HAD THIS RECALL PERFORMED AND EVER SINCE, I'VE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT RESPOND AS IT SHOULD. THE TRUCK TAKES OFF VERY SLOWLY AS IT ACCELERATES (VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC). ON TOP OF THAT IT HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP (EBY FORD IN GOSHEN, IN) HAS BEEN NO HELP WHATSOEVER. NOW, ON TOP OF NOT GETTING THIS TAKEN CARE OF, I NOW HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE (THAT'S ALSO BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM): +FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 15N05. MY VEHICLE HAS 152,XXX MILES ON IT AND THEY'RE SAYING THEY CAN'T COVER THIS BECAUSE IT'S OVER 150,000. I NEED HELP GETTING THIS VEHICLE IN A A SAFE DRIVING CONDITION SO THAT I SOMEONE DOESN'T END UP SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. PLEASE HELP! THESE THINGS OCCUR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING OPERATED. THERE IS ONLY ONE OPTION BELOW FOR "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?". I SELECTED TODAY, HOWEVER, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING SINCE THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS PERFORMED (MENTIONED ABOVE).

NO OR POOR BRAKING RIGHT AFTER ENGINE STARTUP AND TRAVELING IN REVERSE (VACUUM ASSIST). VERY POOR BRAKING AT EMERGENCY OR PANIC STOP (AS IF THE BRAKE LINES NEED BLED). TRAVEL SPEED AT ABOUT 45MPH. ONLY 27K MILES ON VEHICLE. SIMILAR TO CONCERNS THAT PROMPTED THE FORD 19S07 WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE ELECTRIC VACUUM ASSIST UNIT, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THAT. FORD DEALERSHIP WANTS OVER $100 TO DIAGNOSE BRAKE SYSTEM. VERY SCARRY DRIVING!

HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. SAW IT WAS 2 PINTS LOW ON FLUID. ADDED FLUID, DROVE TOWARDS MY AUTO SHOP, HAD TO STOP TO FILL THE BRAKE FLUID AGAIN (THE LIGHT WENT ON THIS TIME). DID THIS A FEW TIMES. JUST BEFORE I GOT TO THE STOP, THE TRUCK BLEW OUT SOME SMOKE, CHUGGED, AND THE MOTOR SEIZED UP. TOWED THE TRUCK TO THE SHOP, THEY FOUND OUT THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED AND THE VACUUM LINES SUCKED THE BRAKE FLUID OUT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER AND DUMPED IT INTO THE CYLINDERS IN THE MOTOR AND THIS BLEW MY MOTOR. I HEAR THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON 2014 F-150S BUT NOT ON THE 2011. TERRIBLE DESIGN. A BRAKE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BLOW UP MY MOTOR.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY ISSUE AS I COULD NOT STOP MY TRUCK UNTIL I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK NEARLY HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WILL NOT STOP THE VEHICLE ON COLD START AS THE RPM+S RUN SLIGHTLY HIGHER AT IDLE. TOOK 2011 F150 TO DEALER FOR SERVICING OF THE BRAKES AND DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE AND STATED VACUUM ASSIST PUMP IS NOT WORKING AND WILL BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS CHANGED, DEALER TESTED AND CALLED ME AND SAID TRUCK WAS REPAIRED. I PICK THE TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER AND BACK UP, AGAIN NO BRAKES, BRAKE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR AS I AM STILL MOVING IN REVERSE I PUT SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND COME TO A STOP. I THEN SHIFT INTO DRIVE TO PARK THE TRUCK AND AGAIN NO BRAKES AND DRIVE OVER THE CURB PROTECTING FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUILDING BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. DEALER PERFORMS MAINTENANCE AND FINDS THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS AN INTERNAL ISSUE CAUSING BLEED OFF LOSS IN PRESSURE. I ASK IF THIS IS A RECALL ITEM AND THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS NOT. WAITING FOR REPAIR TO BE COMPLETED AND WILL COST $500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AND WAS STATED THAT THIS WAS A HIGHLY DISCOUNTED RATE.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED, THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK. WHEN I CRANK THE VEHICLE AND PUT IN REVERSE THE BRAKES DO NOT HAVE ANY PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE SLOWLY GRINDS TO A HALT WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES EXTREMELY HARD. ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES AFTER CRANKING THE BRAKES WORK FINE. I HAVE NEARLY BACKED DOWN A LARGE HILL MULTIPLE TIMES.

WHEN STARTING TRUCK AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, THE VACUUM PUMP IS LOUD FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES. CONCURRENTLY THE BRAKES DO NOT WORK WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR. WHEN STARTING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONE CANNOT TRUST THE BRAKES TO ENGAGE WHEN THE PETAL IS DEPRESSED. ONCE THE NOISE DIMINISHES THE BRAKES WORK.

IT IS SCARY WHEN THE THE BREAK PEDAL LOCKS IN MIDAIR. WE HAVE TO PRESS IT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET IT TO GO DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS DELAYS STOPPING THE TRUCK IN A TIMELY FASHION. ALSO THERE IS A HUMMING/ RATTLING SOUND IN THE VEHICLE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD AT LEAST A MONTH UNTIL WE CAN AFFORD TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP WE DISCOVERED THAT THE TRUCK WAS ENTITLED TO THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM EXTENDED WARRENTEE NOTICE 15N05 POSTED IN 2016. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT APPLY TO OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS 188,000 MILES. THIS PROGRAM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL MATTER SINCE SO MANY F150'S HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S NOT FAIR THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAD TO FIGHT TO THE RIGHT TO FIX THE ISSUE AND FORD ONLY GIVES CONSUMERS WITH OVER 150,000 MILES JUST OVER ONE YEAR TO GET IT REPAIRED FOR FREE. NOW WE ARE FORCED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP WHICH WOULD HAVE ENDED OUR WORRIES WITH THE BREAKS AND THE RATTLING SOUND. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE HELP IN GETTING FORD TO EXTEND SOME OF THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTEES AND RECALLS TO OUR FORD F150 SO THAT WE COULD RETURN TO USING OUR FAMILY/WORK TRUCK SAFELY. THANK YOU.

NO ASSIST BRAKES SPORADICALLY DO NOT WORK, ALMOST CAUSING THREE ACCIDENTS. NORMALLY IT IS AFTER THE TRUCK SITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OR WHEN IT'S COLD IN THE MORNINGS. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES, START THE TRUCK, PUT IT IN REVERSE, AND NO BRAKES. I IMMEDIATELY PRESS HARD AND THE BRAKES GRIND COMING TO A SLOW STOP. I'VE ALMOST BACKED INTO A COUPLE OF CARS. ANOTHER I BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAYS AND COULDN'T COME TO A STOP UNTIL I CROSSED THE STREET HITTING THE OPPOSITE CURB. THIS NEEDS TO GET RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THE DEALER WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS I PAY $150 AND LEAVE THE TRUCK FOR SEVERAL DAYS SO THEY CAN TEST BRAKES MANUALLY THEMSELVES. 1) HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND 2) NO CERTAINTY THAT IT WILL HAPPEN FOR THEM AS IT HAPPENS PERIODICALLY.

OCCASIONALLY ON INITIAL START UP THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT WANT TO DEPRESS, FEELS VERY HARD AND DOES NOT ENGAGE THE BRAKES. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PARKED ON A SLOPE AND THE TRUCK ROLLED BACKWARDS AND ONLY AFTER STOMPING ON THE PEDAL WITH BOTH DID IT STOP BUT BY THAT TIME IT HAD ROLLED ABOUT 30 FEET. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR AFTER THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I HAVEN+T PARKED ONLY ANY SLOPES AND I ALWAYS BACK UP SLOWLY TO TEST THEM BEFORE I DRIVE, WHEN IT HAPPENS I PUMP THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN THEY ENGAGE. I+VE HAD THEM CHECKED BY MECHANIC BUT HE HAS NOT FOUND ANYTHING DEFECTIVE AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SITUATION. OTHER THAN THESE OCCURRENCES THE BRAKING WORKS NORMALLY.

I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION ALMOST IN FRONT OF MY WORK IN TOWN. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON BOLL WEEVIL CIRCLE AND APPLIED BRAKES WITH PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP. MY BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING SO I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS BARELY SLOWING DOWN. I BELIEVE I WAS SLOWING ONLY BECAUSE I WASN'T ACCELERATING. MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES DID NOT WORK. WEATHER CONDITIONS: LIGHT RAIN. I DID NOT SKID! I HIT THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF A BLAZER WHICH WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT PERPENDICULAR TO ME. DPS CASE 6687819 LOCAL CASE 2016-07-4597.

AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY RAN A CHECK AND REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AT NO CHARGE WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE. I HAVE HAD NO ISSUES SINCE. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DID NOT COVER MY INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE AND THE INCREASE IN MY INSURANCE.

SERVICE BULLETIN WAS OUT FOR A BREAK BOOSTER VACUUM FOR 3 MDEL YEARS OF THE F150. HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK IN AROUND MID MAY 2016 AND THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. (HAD A LOANER TRUCK FOR OVER A MONTH) PART WAS INSTALLED AND HAD MY TRUCK BACK A WEEK OR TWO BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY 2016. STARTED HEARING THE NOISE AGAIN AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET MY WORK SCHEDULE TO WORK WITH ME ON GETTING MY TRUCK IN TODAY 10-17-16 AND SURE ENOUGH PART IS BAD. NOW FORD IS SAYING IT'S ON ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS PART TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. BARELY 3 AND A HALF MONTHS AFTER IT WAS FIXED. CLAIMING THIS WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FIX. THERE IS NO DOUBT WHY THIS SHOULDN'T BE A RECALL AND WHY FORD SHOULDN'T BE MANNING UP AND TAKING CARE OF THIS ISSUE. POTENTIAL BRAKE FAILURE BECAUSE OF A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THIS PART ON MANY OTHER TRUCKS.

WHILE TRAVELING THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY PUTS ITSELF INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE THEN LOCKS UP THE BREAKS AND SKIDS ACROSS THE ROAD. AFTER SKIDDING THE VEHICLE'S THROTTLE DOES NOT WORK AND THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO (2) YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED (70 MPH) ON A LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAY FACILITY. IT HAS OCCURRED AT STOP LIGHTS. IN ONE INSTANCE WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE CEASED TO OPERATE AND WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. LAST WEEK WAS NOTIFIED BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER THAT THEY WERE CONDUCTING A RECALL FOR THE EXACT REASON THAT HAS CAUSED ME PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE MALFUNCTION HAS CAUSED MECHANICAL DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE'S SUSPENSION, STEERING, TIRES, AND ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE VIBRATES UNCONTROLLABLY AT ANY SPEED OVER 35 MPH.

I HAVE A 2011 FORD F150 ECOBOOST. I RECEIVED A EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ISSUES OCCURRING WITH THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP. I HAVE DIAGNOSED AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK UP. I STARTED THE TRUCK UP PUT IT IN REVERSE BACKED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND LOST ALL ABILITY TO BRAKE AND STOP THE TRUCK. IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE OR INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WHERE INJURY OR DEATH COULD HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THE INABILITY TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY IGNORED THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP STATING THAT IT WAS THE MASTER PISTON AND IT WOULD COST 700 DOLLARS TO FIX. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I BELIEVE I WAS LIED TOO AFTER OTHERS HAVE REENACTED THE SAME SITUATION THAT HAS OCCURRED TO ME. IF THE BRAKING ISSUE OCCURS MORE THAN ONCE I WILL ESCALATE THIS ISSUE TO HIGHER AUTHORITY INDIVIDUALS AT FORD. THIS ISSUE MUST BE FIXED BEFORE INJURY, DEATH OR LITIGATION OCCURS.

THE TRUCK BRAKES DID NOT WORK ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. THE ENGINE WAS AT FAST IDLE, PLACED IN DRIVE AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THIS LURCHED THE TRUCK FORWARD WHILE EXTREME PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO STOP IT. DANGEROUS IN A PARKING SETTING WHERE A PEDESTRIAN IS WALKING IN FRONT OR BEHIND THE TRUCK. IT JUMPS FORWARDS OR BACK, DEPENDING IF DRIVE OR REVERSE IS SELECTED. AS TIME WENT BY THE BRAKES BECAME WEAKER WHEN APPLYING AT STOPS. AS I REFLECT BACK IN THE PAST WHEN PULLING A TRAILER IT HIT THE BACKEND OF ANOTHER VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY STOPPING SITUATION ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TRUCK WOULD PARK WELL IN THE GARAGE, BUT WHEN PULLING OUT YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE OF IT LURCHING INTO THE HOUSE OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD DEALER WHICH DIAGNOSED IT AS A BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILURE. THE ECO BOOST ENGINE IS TURBO CHARGED WHICH ROBS THE VACUUM SYSTEM OF NEEDED VACUUM. TO SUPPLEMENT THE NEED FOR VACUUM THIS VACUUM PUMP WAS ENGINEERED INTO THE SYSTEM TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VACUUM. IF IT FAILURES THE BRAKES FAIL ALSO. THE 2014 MODELS HAVE BEEN REENGINEERED TO A MECHANICAL PUMP ELEMINATING THE ELECTRICAL PUMP. THE FORD SERVICE MAN SAID THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A RANGE OF NUMEROUS BRAKE FAILURES DUE TO THIS PUMP CONFIGURATION. THE FORD GARAGE CHARGED $832.57 TO GET US BACK ON THE ROAD AND FOR US TO HAVE A SAFE TRIP.

NO BRAKE BOOST UPON STARTING, WHEN YOU START THE MOTOR WHEN COLD THERE IS NO BRAKE VACUUM BOOST FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 SECONDS.. THE "BRAKE ASSIST PUMP" BEHIND THE LEFT HEADLAMP CORRODES AND LOCKS UP AND UNTILL THE MOTOR GETS ENOUGH VACUUM THERE IS VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. FORD GAVE ME A NEW PUMP BUT I HAD TO BITCH, I KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING INTO THIS, JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW. THIS COULD VERY EASILY BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL A CHILD GETS CRUSHED UNDER A PICK-UP TO ACT.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONE MORNING I WAS NOT ABLE TO BRAKE BECAUSE MY BRAKE PEDAL FELT LIKE IT HAD SEIZED AND WAS STIFF. I PUSHED EXTREMELY HARD AND IT HELPED THE VEHICLE SLOW DOWN AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT GRINDING SOUND. AFTER THE TRUCK SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW WHERE WHEN THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IDLE NOT RUNNING FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 OR MORE HOURS, THE BRAKES SEIZE AND DO NOT WORK FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY THE ELECTRONIC VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONING.

AT ROUGHLY 32000 MILES, IN OCTOBER OF 2014 I EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRIC BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST. THE SYMPTOMS WERE THAT THE PUMP CONSTANTLY RAN AND COULD AUDIBLY BE HEARD WHERE IT WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY CONSTANTLY RUNNING. AS SOON AS I NOTICED A CHANGE I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO JOHNSON FORD IN PITTSFIELD MA.. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2014 UNDER WARRANTY. NO RECALL OR CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS CONDITION BUT NUMEROUS REPORTS BY FORD OWNERS HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THE SAME CONDITION. I BELIEVED THE AUDIBLE NOISE I WAS HEARING WAS A STEERING COMPONENT BECAUSE I WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY HAVING AN ISSUE WITH "NOTCHY" STEERING. WHILE NEGOTIATING A LONG, GRADUAL TURN MY STEERING WOULD LOCK WHILE TURNING LEFT. THE WHEEL WOULD LOCK WHEN THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS IN THE AREA OF THE 10 O'CLOCK POSITION. NO CRASH OCCURRED BUT THE CONDITION WAS VERY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE DRIVEN ERRATICALLY TO REMEDY THE CONDITION. A HARD YANK ON THE WHEEL WAS NECESSARY TO FORCIBLY INCREASE STEERING INPUT. THE STEERING COMPONENTS WERE ALSO REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2014 BY JOHNSON FORD UNDER WARRANTY. NO RECALL OR CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS CONDITION BUT NUMEROUS REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THE SAME CONDITION. THE ELECTRIC VACUUM ASSIST REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2014, NINE MONTHS AGO WAS THE SAME PART WITH NO UPDATES AS THE ONE THAT FAILED. I AGAIN HEAR THE VACUUM ASSIST MOTOR RUNNING ALMOST CONSTANT AS IT WAS WHEN REPLACED. THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VACUUM ASSIST FOR NINE MONTHS. I SPOKE WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. NO WARRANTY IS AVAILABLE AS I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK IN EXCESS OF 12,000 MILES (12,200 MILES AT THE TIME I REPORTED THE PROBLEM). THE CUSTOMER SERVICE EMPLOYEE OFFERED NO SERVICE OTHER THAN TO BRING IT TO FORD AT MY EXPENSE FOR REPAIRS, $130.00 DIAGNOSIS, $580 PUMP, $200.00 LABOR.

ONCE THE VEHICLE RUNS FOR A WHILE THE NOISE SEEMS TO FADE AWAY BUT RETURNS UPON RESTART. A TECHNICIAN TRIED TO DIAGNOSE THE NOISE AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE WHICH PROMPTED ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO DIAGNOSE AGAIN. THIS TIME I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE MATTER AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE VACUUM PUMP IN SOME OF THESE MODEL TRUCKS. UPON PICKING UP MY TRUCK THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH FORD AT THIS TIME. I MADE AND APPOINTMENT WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE NOISE. HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT 9/10 TIMES THE VACUUM PUMP IS THE PROBLEM. HE EXPLAINED THAT FORD HAD SWITCHED VENDORS FOR THE PART AND REDESIGNED THE PUMP IN NEWER MODELS AND ISSUED A (TSB) REGARDING THE PUMP. SINCE MY TRUCK WAS JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS QUOTED AT MORE THAN $900. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL MID AUGUST 2015 AND THAT I SHOULD SCHEDULE TO HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED THEN. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A SAFETY HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH CONTINUED DRIVING AND HE SAID, "NO, THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAPPEN IS YOU COULD LOSE YOUR BRAKES OR POSSIBLY 4 WHEEL DRIVE, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE BRAKES ARE HEAVY IF ITS GOING OUT COMPLETELY." I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE AS A PROBLEM AND HAVE REDESIGNED, AND WHICH CAN CAUSE BRAKE OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILURE PUTTING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS AT RISK.

THE FRONT OUTER BRAKE PADS ON BOTH WHEELS SHOWED FAIRLY NORMAL WEAR WITH ABOUT 3/8"-1/2" OF PAD REMAINING ON EACH PAD. THE INBOARD PAD ON BOTH WHEELS WERE WORN DOWN TO BARE METAL AND ALMOST SEIZED INTO THE INBOARD SIDE OF BOTH ROTORS.

WE FEEL SCARED DRIVING IT AND IT HAS REMAINED PARKED FOR 3+ WEEKS. THIS IS OUR NEWEST VEHICLE, WHICH LOOKS NEW AND YET WE CAN'T DRIVE IT. WE'RE NOT MADE OUT OF MONEY, AND CAN NOT EASILY REPLACE THIS TRUCK. WE WANT FORD TO FIX THE ENGINE AND THE BRAKES, AND NOT ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. FORD WANTS US TO TAKE THE LOSS ON THE VEHICLE VALUE OR CONTINUE DRIVING IT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. THEY WANT NOTHING IN WRITING. AND, WE DO NOT WANT TO SELL THE VEHICLE TO A STRANGER. WE'D ALLOW YOU TO INSPECT OUR VEHICLE....AND DRIVE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. WOULD YOU WANT TO BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH YOUR YOUNG CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS?

I WAS BACKING UP AFTER A COLD START AND THE BRAKES FAILED. I TOOK IT IN FOR A REPAIR AND THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE PROBLEM. IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE AND BAD VACUUM PUMP. THE FUSE AND PUMP WERE REPLACED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/29/12 AND THE PUMP WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED A SECOND TIME ALL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS OCCURRED A THIRD TIME ON 6/13/15 AND THE VACUUM PUMP WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE AGAIN AND REPLACED AT A COST $200 IN LABOR. THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED THE PARTS AS GOOD WILL DUE TO MY COMPLAINTS. ON 6/1715 THE VEHICLES BRAKE AGAIN STOP WORKING. THIS TIME THEY REPORTED THE FUSE HAD BLOWN FOR SOME REASON AND BLAMED IT ON THE STRAIN FROM THE OLD VACUUM PUMP. NOTE: THE FUSE ALSO BLEW BACK IN 2012 WHEN I FIRST HAD THE PROBLEM. I HAVE LITTLE TO NO FAITH THAT MY BRAKES WILL WORK ON A COLD START EVERY TIME I START MY CAR. I JUST SAW A TWITTER FEED THAT THIS WAS BEING LOOKED INTO SO I DECIDED TO ENTER MY INFORMATION.

I OWN A 2011 FORD F-150 FX4 WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS (ODOMETER 23,260) AFTER I BOUGHT IT I NOTICED THAT IN THE MORNING WHEN I WOULD START IT AND BEGIN DRIVING MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD BE HARD AS A ROCK AND WOULD NOT WORK! I MADE AN APPT WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY HAD NO PRESSURE AT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND NEEDED REPLACE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE REPAIRS DID NOT COST ME ANYTHING. FAST FORWARD ANOTHER 18 MONTHS (ODOMETER 44,693) TO MAY 2015 AND I WAS HAVING THE IDENTICAL ISSUE AGAIN. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD AND AFTER TESTING THEY CONFIRMED THAT I WAS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AGAIN AND THAT THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY FOR THE BRAKES WOULD NEED REPLACED YET AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $900 TO FIX IT. I REMINDED THEM THAT THIS IS NOW THE 3 VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY THAT NEEDED REPLACED IN A SPAN OF 3 YEARS AND THAT THE DESIGN WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULDN'T COST ME ANYTHING. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ACCOMMODATIONS AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY IF I WASN'T HAPPY. I DID THAT AND AFTER SOME HAGGLING THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM $106, WHICH I DID. I HAVE THE FORD INVOICE'S FOR BOTH OCCURRENCES. I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE THAT THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED AND THAT I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE AGAIN IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

NO BRAKING WHEN JUST STARTING UP. WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE AND SHIFT INTO GEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET STOPPED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND FOUND MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP SEIZES SO NO POWER BRAKE ASSIST IS AVAILABLE. AFTER THE ENGINE RUNS FOR A SHORT PERIOD THE BRAKES WILL FUNCTION NORMALLY. YOU WILL GET NO NOTICE THAT THIS CONDITION EXISTS VIA A WARNING LIGHT OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS, A BUILDING, A TREE, OR A PERSON COULD BE BEHIND YOU AND YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. FORD MUST BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY RE-DESIGNED THE PUMP FOR THE 2013 MODEL YEAR BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED THE 2011-2012 MODELS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THE PARTS ARE EXPENSIVE ($700) AND MANY ON LINE POSTS SAY THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AT FORD. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED EXPEDITED.

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY 2014. WE NOTICED AFTER BUYING IT THAT WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK, THE BRAKES ARE HARD AND NO STOPPING ABILITY. ONCE YOU PUMP IT A COUPLE OF TIMES AND GO TO DRIVE THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY. WE TALKED TO PEOPLE IN GENERAL AND SAID SOME VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO THAT ISSUE WHEN STARTING AND THAT IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL. IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE ON A GRADE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU DO DRIFT UNTIL PRESSURE IS BUILT UP. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND A VIDEO THAT EXPLAINS THE ISSUE VERY WELL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A SIMPLE BUT COSTLY FIX. IT HAS AN ELECTRIC BRAKE PUMP INSTEAD OF A MECHANICAL ONE AND SEIZES UP WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED FOR PROLONGED AMOUNTS OF TIME. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD TO HAVE SOME WORK DONE WHEN THE MECHANIC BROUGHT UP THE BRAKE PUMP AND SAID THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IS INCASE THE PUMP WOULD FULLY GO OUT. IT IS OVER A $700 FIX WITH LABOR AND IS SOMETHING THAT WAS FAULTY IN THE ENGINEERING OF THE TRUCK MODEL AND PRODUCES A SAFETY RISK FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHERS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA.

AT MY HOUSE, THE DRIVEWAY IS SLOPED. I HAD JUST PARKED THE TRUCK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, BUT LEFT KEY IN ACCESSORY POSITION. MY TWO DAUGHTERS WERE IN BACK SEAT (3 AND 8 YEARS OLD) WATCHING A MOVIE. I WALKED INTO MY GARAGE TO DROP OFF COFFEE, WENT BACK TO THE TRUCK TO RETRIEVE PASTRIES AND THEN WALKED THEM INTO GARAGE. I WAS OUT OF THE TRUCK FOR 3-4 MINUTES. I WENT BACK TO TRUCK AND TOOK MY THREE YEAR OLD OUT OF HER CAR SEAT. SHE SITS IN REAR SEAT, PASSENGER SIDE. I HAD HER IN MY ARMS WHEN I OPENED PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR, REACHED ACROSS TO REMOVE KEYS. WHEN I REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION THE TRUCK BEGAN ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. MY 8 YEAR OLD WAS 1/2 OUT OF THE TRUCK WHEN IT BEGAN TO ROLL. I QUICKLY PUT MY 3 YEAR OLD DOWN AND GRABBED THE 8 YEAR OLD OUT OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS MAKING A METAL CLICKING SOUND THE ENTIRE TIME IT WAS ROLLING. TRUCK ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO THE NEIGHBORS YARD. THEIR TREE STOPPED THE TRUCK FROM ROLLING FURTHER INTO THE YARD AND THEIR HOUSE. THE TRUCK WAS STILL IN PARK WHEN I WENT INSIDE TO START IT BACK UP TO MOVE IT BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I DROVE IT THE FORD DEALER ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. FORD DEALER AND FOMOCO WERE INVOLVED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. EVENTUALLY A 'SPECIALIST' WAS FLOWN IN TO LOOK AT TRUCK. IN THE END, THEY CLAIM THERE ARE NO MECHANICAL DEFAULTS AND THEREFORE, THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. THEY ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS TO HOW THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE FOR THE 3-4 MINUTES IT WAS ON THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I WAS BACK AND FORTH TO THE GARAGE. THEY ALSO HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR HOW THE TRUCK ROLLED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL IN PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. END RESULTS IS FORD CLAIMS THEY NEVER REPAIRED OR MODIFIED MY TRUCK. I HAVE NO WAY TO PROVE THEY DID OR DID NOT REPAIR ANYTHING DURING THE PERIODS OF TIME THEY HAD MY TRUCK IN THEIR POSSESSION.

BRAKES FAIL WHEN VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED AND EITHER BACKING UP OR PULLING FORWARD. HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 4-5 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2012. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS SERIOUS IN NATURE, FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF. IT NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF NHTSA NOW! FORD SERVICE DID PERFORM A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN DEALING WITH HARD BRAKE PEDAL DURING NORMAL BRAKING, BUT THE DIAGNOSIS PERFORMED INDICATED AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP AND THE OPERATION OF THE POWER ASSIST BRAKE. THIS PART AND REPAIR IN NOT COVERED NOW EVEN TOUGH IT WAS INDICATED TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS.

BRAKES WERE DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE DURING EMERGENCY BRAKING DUE TO HARD PEDAL. BRAKING SEEMS MORE DIFFICULT THAN PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE (LIKE HAVING NO BRAKE ASSIST). AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS, I VERIFIED A BLOWN VACUUM PUMP FUSE. THE DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS SEIZED THEREFORE BLOWING THE FUSE. I FIND IT CURIOUS WHY A MAJOR BRAKE COMPONENT CAN FAIL WHILE NOT SETTING A FAILURE CODE OR INDICATING A FAILURE ON THE FORD DISPLAY PANEL (CHECK BRAKE LIGHT, ETC.). HOW CAN THE VACUUM ASSIST FOR THE BRAKES TOTALLY FAIL ON A 2011 VEHICLE AND NOT TELL THE DRIVER THERE IS A PROBLEM? WHY DID THE VACUUM PUMP FAIL (INTERNAL PUMP BEARINGS LACKED LUBRICANT AND SEIZED DUE TO ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE) WITH JUST OVER 20000 MILES ON THE TRUCK? WHY WON'T FORD FESS UP THAT THEY SOLD THEIR CUSTOMERS A DEFECTIVE $750.00 PUMP? I GUESS FORD ONLY KNOWS!

VERY SCARY! TURNS OUT THE VACUUM PUMP HAD SEIZED CAUSING THERE TO BE NO POWER BOOST. ONCE THE ENGINE HAS RUN FOR A WHILE THE ENGINE WILL PROVIDE THE BOOST, IT'S ONLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE THAT THERE IS NO BOOST. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT TO INDICATE THE LOW VACUUM CONDITION AND 90% OF THE TIME THERE ISN'T A NOTICEABLE PROBLEM. UNTIL THEY CAN'T STOP, THE OWNER DOESN'T KNOW THE PUMP HAD FAILED MONTHS EARLIER. THIS CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE CHANCE OF A SLOW SPEED CRASH. CURRENTLY THERE IS A BACK ORDER ON THE PUMPS SO I HAVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE KNOWING THAT I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME.

I LIVE IN THE NORTH EAST AND ROAD SALT IS USED IN THE WINTER MONTHS, THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN THE BRAKES ARE DESIGNED SO THAT THIS CORROSION CAN'T OCCUR. I CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY RE-PLACING THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS, USING BRAKE LUBRICANT TO HELP PREVENT THE CORROSION. DOING THIS REPAIR CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.

TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ECO-BOOST MOTOR. UPON PUTTING TRUCK IN REVERSE AND BACKING DOWN DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PUSH AND ACTED AS IF SOMETHING WAS STUCK UNDER PEDAL. DRIVER WENT INTO NEIGHBORS YARD AND BEFORE STRIKING THE HOUSE, PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK TO STOP. THERE WAS NO OBJECTS BEHIND PEDAL. AFTER RE-STARTING VEHICLE A FEW MINUTES LATER, BRAKES THEN WORKED AS DESIGNED. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER WERE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS BEING LOOKED AT. AFTER A WEEK OF MISS-DIAGNOSING, VEHICLE OWNER WAS TOLD TO PICK UP VEHICLE AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE IN THE DEALER PARKING LOT AND SHOWED THE MECHANIC AND SERVICE WRITER AND THEY CONCURRED THAT THERE WAS A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM. UPON LEAVING IN RENTAL CAR, VEHICLE OWNER WITNESSED A PORTER CRASH VEHICLE INTO A PARKED CAR. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY.

CROSSING TABLE ROCK DAM ON DRY, FLAT, LEVEL PAVEMENT AFTER LETTING OFF GAS IN ANTICIPATION OF STOPPING AT UPCOMING LIGHT REAR TIRES LOCKED AND WENT INTO SKID SQUEALING BRAND NEW MICHELIN TIRES WITH LESS THAN 500 MILES ON THEM. NOBODY WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME OR WOULD HAVE CAUSED WRECK DUE TO SUDDEN DECELERATION WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS SINCE NO BRAKE APPLIED. TIRES SQUALL LIKE OLD VEHICLES WITH NO ABS WHEN BRAKES LOCKED UP. AN EMPLOYEE WAS RIDING WITH ME AT THE TIME AND IT SCARED BOTH OF US. HAD WE NOT BEEN OUT OF TOWN AND DEPENDENT ON TRUCK GETTING US HOME WE WOULD HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT AGAIN. AFTER RETURNING HOME TRUCK DID IT A SECOND TIME A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER DRIVING IN TOWN DOWN STADIUM BLVD AT ABOUT 35 MPH. REAR TIRES LOCK, SKID AND SQUALL. IN ADDITION EARLIER INTERMITTENT HARD DOWNSHIFTS THAT FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HITS YOU FROM BEHIND BUT NOT A FULL LOCK CONDITION AS THESE TWO RECENT INCIDENTS. ALSO INTERMITTENT STALLING WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, OUT OF PARKING LOT, OR OUT OF DRIVEWAY - ESPECIALLY AFTER IDLING. STALLS, HESITATES, BUCKS, VIBRATES, GIVING IT GAS DOES NOT RESULT IN VEHICLE RESPONDING. USUALLY ON "EASY" ACCELERATION MEANING WHEN JUST EASING OFF FROM STOP. INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION STICKING IN 1ST GEAR AND WON'T SHIFT OUT. FINALLY VEHICLE SOMETIMES "SURGES" AFTER PUTTING IN GEAR ON COLD START OR WHEN LETTING OFF GAS AND COASTING - IT ACTUALLY PICKS UP SPEED AND LUNGES FORWARD FOR JUST A SECOND. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL THE SENSORS AND THE COMPUTER IS CAUSING THE ENGINE / TRANSMISSION / ABS BRAKES TO BEHAVE IN STRANGE AND UNPREDICTABLE WAYS. MY FATHER, WIFE, AND EMPLOYEE HAVE ALL WITNESSED ONE OR MORE OF THESE ISSUES WHILE RIDING WITH ME BUT INTERMITTENT SO UNABLE TO REPLICATE. FORD CASE OPENED BUT NO RESOLUTION. TELL ME DRIVE IT UNTIL IT BREAKS SO THEY CAN FIND PROBLEM BUT UNSAFE TO DO SO.

BRAKES FAIL ON INITIAL DRIVE; HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY OTHER DAY. HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED HITTING NEIGHBORS GARAGE AND CAR, AND HAVE BACK INTO TREE ON OUR PROPERTY AS WE ARE UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 30-40 TIMES. ON FIRST START UP ON DRY PAVEMENT, THE FIRST TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP. IF THE BRAKES ARE RE-APPLIED SEVERAL TIMES, THE ANTI-LOCK WILL DISENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE INDICATES BRAKE FAILURE ON DASH. NO COMPUTER CODES ARE RECORDED HOWEVER ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP. TWO CASES HAVE BEEN OPENED WITH FORD; FIRST CASE WAS CASE #2802388; SECOND CASE IS CAS3111923XZC1H9; CONTACT IS MARY AT 1-866-631-3788, X 77741. DEALERSHIP HAS DUPLICATED PROBLEM BUT UNABLE TO IDENTIFY CAUSE. IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT RESULTS FROM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I'VE OFFERED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED TIME SO IT CAN BE DRIVEN AND PROBLEM IDENTIFIED. FORD REPRESENTATIVE (MARY) SAYS THEY ARE UNWILLING TO TAKE VEHICLE FOR EXTENDED TIME. I KEEP TAKING BACK TO DEALER, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO BE UNABLE TO RESOLVE. FORD ENGINEER IS INVOLVED. WE DON?T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT CONTINUING TO DRIVE VEHICLE.

WHEN MY STEERING STARTED TO SHAKE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES I REMOVED THE WHEEL AND BRAKE CALIPERS TO INSPECT THEM. THE INSIDE ROTOR SURFACE IS NOT AS WIDE AS THE OUTSIDE SO THE BRAKE PADS DO NOT CONTACT THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE ROTOR LIKE THE OUTSIDE. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE ROTOR WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN INSTALLED. THE BRAKES HAVE 41000 MILES ON THEM AND ARE LESS THAN HALF WORN OUT. THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED ANOTHER DRIVER PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT. I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES SO TOOK IT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR A CHECK. THE DEALER VERIFIED MY CONCERN, AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED. WHEN I ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE ROTORS TO WARP ON A TRUCK WITH ONLY 14,000 MILES ON IT I WAS TOLD HEAT, AND THIS REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE BRAKES ARE CONSIDERED WEAR PARTS. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE, BUT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. I CHECKED SAFERCAR.GOV AND FOUND OUT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE BRAKES OF THIS TRUCK. FORD DIDN'T CARE AND TOLD ME TO HAVE THE REPAIRS MADE TO MY TRUCK AND KEEP THE RECEIPT INCASE THEY ISSUED A RECALL. I WOULD BE REIMBURSE. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE TRUCK FOR A MONTH, HOPING FORD WOULD CONTACT ME. WHEN I DID HERE FROM THEM, THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE UNABLE TO BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER, AT THIS TIME. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, FORD CUSTOMER CARE, OR THE FORD DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE TRUCK DON'T SEEM TO CARE. I HAVE NEVER ABUSED THIS TRUCK, NEVER PULLED A TRAILER, OR DONE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I'M GLAD I NEVER HAD TO USE THIS AS A REAL TRUCK,

BRAKES ARE INEFFECTIVE IN A PANIC STOP. ON DRY PAVEMENT THE BRAKES CANNOT BE APPLIED HARD ENOUGH TO LOCK THE WHEELS AND ACTIVATE THE ABS FUNCTION. STOPPING DISTANCES ARE MUCH LONGER THAN NORMAL AND SAFE. COMPARED TO OTHER F150'S WITH HE SAME BODY STYLE AND ENGINE THE BRAKES ARE DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT AND MUCH WORSE IN STOPPING DISTANCES (ROUGH TEST STOP FROM 30 MPH IN 28 FT COMPARED TO 15 FT, STOP FROM 40 MPH IN 46FT COMPARED TO 28 FT) DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED REPAIR 4 TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL AND NOW FORD HAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKES ARE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY AND THAT "SOME TRUCKS WILL STOP BETTER THAN OTHERS". IF THIS IS IN FACT TRUE THERE MAY BE MANY F150'S ON THE ROAD WITH SUBSTANDARD BRAKES WHICH THE OWNERS MAY NOT SUSPECT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. MY VEHICLE IS DRAMATICALLY WORSE THAN OTHER F150'S THAT I HAVE DRIVEN AND I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. NORMAL IN THIS INSTANCE IS NOT SAFE.

STEERING WHEEL SHAKES REAL BAD ON STOPPING THE HARDER THE STOP THE WORSE IT SHAKES THIS TRUCK HAS 16000 MILES ON IT NOW AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED AFTER THE 1ST SERVICE AND TIRE ROTATION (ABOUT 8500 MILES) ALTHOUGH IT DID NOT START IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUT RATHER SEEMED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME FROM THAT POINT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS WARPED BRAKE ROTORS POSSIBLY FROM CHEAP OR DEFECTIVE OEM PARTS THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD OR ABUSED JUST DAILY DRIVE TO FROM WORK 19 MILES EACH WAY.
